Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    Can Report Builder create a report of all rows of a filtered database without displaying all?

    Hi, Brian

    Sorry for the delay

    -

    I am not sure if i fully understood your question,

    but i can give you general information about using a source data table and filtering with Report Builder,  to start with.

    As pointed out on this Documentation,

    this depends if you use "Follow table filtering" –

     this checkbox is visible only if you did choose a wpDataTable data source on previous step.

     If this is checked, the report will always contain only the rows that are currently visible in the wpDataTable when it’s placed on the same page, in the same order. 

    So if a table is sorted, filtered, etc., the rows will be used in the report same as they appear on the page.

     If this checkbox is unchecked, or if the wpDataTable isn’t present on the same page with Report controls, whole table will be used in report every time. 

    Important to note : if the table has more rows that are currently visible, the invisible ones won’t be used in the report if the follow table filtering is enabled – to use them you would need to select “All” in wpDataTables “Show … rows” dropdown on the front-end.

    Let me know if that answers the question, but if you perhaps meant something else,

    could you elaborate a bit more and we will advise? Thank you

    Kind Regards,
